Chapter SRV.9.3 of Servlet Spec 2.4 says that a web application may consist of some items, but as far as I searched nowhere is written that existence of WEB-INF or deployment descriptor is required. E.g. web applications that serve only static files may exist well without WEB-INF/web.xml. Please note also, that conf/web.xml in Tomcat provides the defaults for all the web.xml files. Also, from Sun's J2EE 5 Tutorial: http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/tutorial/doc/bnadx.html "If your web module does not contain any servlets, filter, or listener components then it does not need a web application deployment descriptor." At most, it might be implemented as a configurable option to warn against such directories, but I doubt that it should. Marking this as an enhancement, Tomcat 6, and changing the summary. I guess it will become WONTFIX. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
